Another heat wave is heading to the Bay Area this weekend and the National Weather Service has issued an excessive heat watch for most of the region.
While conditions could change in the coming days, a "robust warming trend" is expected to start Thursday and will likely last through the Labor Day weekend, according to the weather service.
Temperatures in some areas could range from 90 to 110 degrees. The peak of the heat event will be Sunday and Monday.
The worst of the heat is expected in the East Bay, North Bay, the southern Salinas Valley and San Benito County, where temperatures are forecasted to peak in the 90s and 100s with little relief during the overnight hours.
Coastal areas and the San Francisco Peninsula are expected to benefit from the marine layer and should only top out in the 70s and 80s, according to the weather service.
The Bay Area Air Quality Management District forecasted "moderate" air quality through Saturday.
The weather service said the elderly, sick and homeless are the most vulnerable during a heat wave and suggested people check on them. Daytime outdoor events be rescheduled to avoid the hotter parts of the day (11 a.m. to 6 p.m.).
